NOTES

Sales revenues up 13.2 percent, driven by Core Components, Customized Modules and Lifecycle Solutions on a par with the previous year

EBIT and EBIT margin on an operating basis significantly improved year on year as planned, largely due to higher earnings contributions from the Core Components division; Customized Modules also significantly improved; Lifecycle Solutions still slightly down compared to previous year

Net income substantially improved year on year; previous year's figure included losses from discontinued operations, which were largely offset by the positive onetime effect of the transitional consolidation

Free cash flow seasonally negative due to typical working capital increase at the beginning of the year (among others due to higher inventories), previous year's figure includes a negative €30 million from discontinued operations

Capital expenditure lower than previous year; decreased particularly in the Lifecycle Solutions and Customized Modules divisions

Value added boosted by one-time effect in previous year, significant improvement on an operational basis year on year

  1. Figures for previous year excluding positive book effect of €15.6 million related to the transitional consolidation of a Chinese joint venture in the Fastening Systems business unit (figures reported in Q1 2020: EBITDA/EBITDA margin €28.8 million/15.7 percent, EBIT/EBIT margin €16.5 million/9.0 percent).
  2. Previous year's figure includes effects from discontinued operations.

202.1

Equity significantly higher than year-end figure for 2020, mainly due to proceeds from the placement of the hybrid note (approx. €150 million) and positive net income; equity ratio increases to more than 40 percent

Average working capital intensity significantly better than first quarter of the previous year; average working capital on previous year's level despite considerable increase in sales revenues

Capital employed at reporting date increased compared to end of Q1 2020, mainly due to higher working capital and capital expenditure exceeding depreciation and amortization (12-month period)

Net financial debt significantly reduced compared to the end of Q1 2020, primarily due to cash inflows from the hybrid note of roughly €150 million and positive FCF in core business of almost €40 million over the last twelve months

  1. Net financial debt excluding lease liabilities. Net financial debt would increase by €42.3 million on 3/31/2021 if these lease liabilities were included.
